Although Brady registered correctly with the Federal Election Committee, he was discovered when a local reporter tried to find him at the address listed on his registration and it was found that nobody named Deez Nuts was living there.

"Anybody can fill out a Form 2," says FEC Deputy Press Officer Christian Hilland. "We do vetting, but it's more about did they fill out the information correctly? Did they review the fields? It doesn't speak to the authenticity of the individual who filed the claim."

And in Brady's defense, he filled out the form correctly.
